Secretary Lamar's Successor.

Secretary Lamar's Successor.
GEORGIA DEMOCRATS PRESSING Ex-REPREsENTAT1vE
HAMMOND FOR THE POSSIBLE VACANCY.
In political circles speculation is still rife as to
the successor Of Secretary Lamar in the Cabinet
when the latter shall have been appointed to the
Supreme Bench. Senator RansOm's very emphatic
declaration through THE STAR that he would not
exchange his seat In the Senate for place in the
Cabinet seems to have been accepted in good faith
by the polical prognosticators In connection with
the suggestion that Senator COquitt would succeed
Secretary Lamar, one Of the reasons assigned for
the appointment was that it would enable Gov.
Gordon, OF Georgia, to return to the U. s. Senate.
Secretary Lamar and Gov. Gordon are old friends
and 1t was said that the Secretary was anxious to
have M Gordon return to public lie in Washington.
But the resignation Of Senator COlQuitt could not
help Gov Gordon to a seat in the Senate at pres
ent. as the vacancy would have to be filled by ap-
man who would agree to accept the MDu ad d
interim appointment and not be q candidate
before the legislature but even then the governor
would have TO take his chances in the legislature
The political history OF the country shows that as
rule men who have been appointed to keep Sena-
to the seats and have made strong fights to hold
on to them. But, aside from the fact that Gov
Gordon could not become Senator Colquitt's
immediate successor, the Senator has come out
In declaration that he does not care
to enter the Cabinet. Now it is said that the

Lamar; that having become satisfied that MI.
Lamar IS to have the Supreme Court position they
have decided to press Mr.. Hammond for the Sec
retarysh1p OF the Interior. prominent southern
democrat, In discussing the matter. said to STAR
reporter:
''The leading Georgia democrats are very anxious
TO get Hammond provided for. He Is dangerous
He Is q man OF pronounced ability and great popu-
lar1ty: but, strange to say, he cannot maintain
his hold upon seat in the House OF Representa-
tives He Is too Independent, too manly, to curry
favor with the bosses OF political cltQues in HIS
district. But he is big man. ond the people OF
the State know 1t, and unless Hammond Is pro-
vided for by some appointive position the chances
are thai the people OF his State Will elect him to
some place worthy his abilities. The men In
power and place In Georgia see this, and hence
their anxiety to dispose OF Hammond"
